Preston Lacemakers are a friendly group of people who meet to share their enthusiasm and enjoyment in the art and craft of lace, in all its variations. Our group includes young and old and beginners to experienced. Throughout the year we have talks about and workshops in both lace and other craft techniques. We also promote lace through exhibitions and giving demonstrations.

Next Meeting: Saturday 4 September 2021 in person at New Longton Village Hall

Hope everyone is looking forward to meeting up in person again and at our new venue:

New Longton Village Hall

Boundary Close
New Longton
Preston
PR4 4BD

Please note the new start time of 12 noon

The venue advises that there will be hand sanitiser by the entrance and also in our meeting room on the table near the fire exit. 

There'll be a signing in sheet, so you may wish to bring your own pen if you don't want to use the communal one. 

Given the ongoing pandemic and the fact that there's likely to be a lot going on because we've not had a physical meeting for 18 months, there won't be a sales table or a raffle at this first meeting.

The kitchen will be available for use and tea/coffee/milk/biscuits will be provided as usual. We suggest you bring your own mug. 

For the comfort and safety of everyone, we recommend wearing a facemask (if you can) when moving around the hall/building and maintaining social distancing where possible.  For anyone who's slightly nervous about coming, the hall is plenty large enough to allow everyone enough space.

There'll be disinfectant spray and cloths available and we'd be grateful if you would wipe your table and seat down before putting them away. 

It would be helpful if you would inform the secretary if you'll be joining us on 4th September so we have an idea of numbers expected.  She can be contacted on prestonlacemakers@yahoo.com. 

Please inform any former members or any potential new members who may wish to visit us and to see the Village Hall. 

The committee is really looking forward to welcoming as many as possible on the 4th September and having a long awaited catch up in person.
